Prawn & chorizo orzo With vine tomatoes & fresh basil

The Orzo was replaced by macaroni. Just because the Orzo was not in stock at our grocers.  I am a massive chorizo fan. Ask my colleagues, I cann’t get enough of it. I just love the strong flavour. It can take over a whole dish, so it’s always a big risk to keep the flavour…
